re: The Best and Worst U.S. Airlines of 2019

I much prefer American to United. United has also made their frequent flyer system absolutely terrible for this year.

Alaska is by far the best, but only really an option for transcon flights or if you live on the west coast.

I'd like to fly Delta more, but they are completely shut out of the DC/Northern Virginia market.

Alaska airlines is the tits

holy hell i had no idea American was that bad

I did. They have really gotten bad in the last year or two. I live in Dallas and travel a lot for work, and while i mostly fly southwest, i do have to fly american a fair amount. I dread the entire american and DFW experience now. Its much further away, parking is much more expensive, the terminals are a pain in the arse, and most of the planes i am on for regional travel are straight up garbage. Tiny, dirty, and american really doesn't give a shite about you if you aren't flying back and forth to China three times a week. Terrible people to work with, every flight seems more expensive, and the tightest seat spacing in the industry.

Those rankings check out: I've had several trips on Delta in the past couple years, all solid. And I had one American trip; it was the kind of soul-crushing shite show that makes you want to swear off airline travel.

American is the worst in just about every category especially if you’re in DFW.
3 terrible airline experiences in the last few years, all 3 were American flights and 2 involved DFW.

US carriers get bad, albeit deserving reputations for delays and poor experiences, but my worst/craziest flight experiences have all been international.

I was flying business from NYC to Mumbai on Air India. The lay flat only went down to 150 degrees, so I landed looking like a paraplegic, and I got sick on the food EN ROUTE to India rather than after landing. Was in the fetal position in my hotel room for 6 hours.

On a flight from Zagreb to Belgrade on Air Serbia, right when we landed I saw a maintenance truck hailing arse down the runway. Didn’t know what it was for until I walked off the plane and saw it next to our plane working vigorously on one of the engines. I’d still roll the dice with these guys than do Air India again.

Allegiant

I've flown Allegiant serveral times, never had an issue. You have to know what you are getting with them, it's just a seat, but I've only had one flight that had any delay with them.

After reading this list, I can only conclude that Atlanta is superior to Dallas-Ft Worth

Of course it is! You can't get ranch flavored ice cream anywhere in Texas.

See I’ve had issues WWI Th sways every time
I’ve flown delta. I thought Atlanta was notoriously bad to fly through.

Southwest feasting per usual. frick the h8rz
